Surgeon I'm considering for BR only has 2 BR photos on website. It is too much to ask for more?
Answer: Ask anything that's on your mind! Hi Treebird, It's more than fair to ask! There could be very sound reasons for not having many photos on a website- the surgeon could be young in practice, or simply doesn't have the office infrastructure to do this type of work for him/her. If you ask, you might get an explanation that puts your mind at ease! Trust your gut, look at reviews, and if possible- speak to someone who has use this surgeon. Best of luck to you! - Dr. Nik

Answer: No Harm in Asking! Getting permission from patients to use their photos on a website is tricky so don't let this alone deter you from proceeding with this surgeon. It is worth asking to see if he/she has more photos because other patients may have given permission to use their photos for patient education in the office but not on a website, social media, etc. If there are no other photos, you may want to ask to speak with patients who have had a good experience with their breast reductions. Of course, make sure that your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon!

Answer: Breast reduction photos Hello, And thank you for the question. It is normal for the patients to ask for more before/after photos evaluate the results after a particular procedure. Your surgeon may have them, but they may not have been uploaded yet to his/her website. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Good luck!

Answer: Surgeon I'm considering for BR only has 2 BR photos on website. It is too much to ask for more? Hi. It is certainly reasonable to ask to see more photographs. Obviously some surgeons have more photographs than others but it is certainly reasonable, especially for a common procedure like a breast reduction, to want to see a few more photographs. Bottom line, though, is that you need to feel very comfortable with your surgeon as well as his or her ability to consistently give reliable good results for the specific procedure that you are interested in. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who has very good experience with breast reductions. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell
